Typical Duration
1 hr
Location
Exeter, Devon
Mother's Day flowers collected from your chosen florist and delivered personally to your mum. I'll arrange them in a vase and make sure everything looks lovely when she sees them.
When You Can't Be There in Person
Working away? Living miles from Exeter? Just incredibly busy on Mother's Day itself? Doesn't mean mum misses out on proper flowers delivered with a personal touch.
💡 Pro tip: Supermarket bouquets are fine, but local florist flowers properly delivered and arranged make way more impact. Worth the extra.
Why This Beats Standard Delivery
Most flower delivery services leave them in a box on the doorstep. That's not the same as someone bringing them inside, putting them in water, and making sure they look beautiful.
| ✅ Personal Service | ❌ Standard Delivery |
|---|---|
| Collected from proper florist | Mass-produced and boxed |
| Delivered personally | Left on doorstep in packaging |
| Arranged in vase | Mum has to sort them herself |
| Timed to suit your mum | Random delivery window |

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to send flowers yourself but make them extra special? Here's how:
🌸 Choosing a good florist
- Avoid supermarkets for special occasions
- Local Exeter florists: The Flowerpot, Exclusively Flowers, Quince & Cook
- Order early (week before at least) for Mother's Day
- Tell them it's for Mother's Day - they'll put extra effort in
📦 If you're sending by courier
- Use specialist flower couriers (not general parcel firms)
- Pay for morning delivery so they're not sitting in a van all day
- Include a vase in the order
- Add a proper card with personal message
💐 DIY arrangement basics
- Trim stems at an angle before putting in water
- Remove any leaves that would sit below water line
- Use flower food if provided
- Start with foliage, then add flowers
- Turn vase as you work for even arrangement
- Change water every couple of days
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Ordering too late (good florists book up fast)
- Cheap courier services that dump and run
- Not including a vase
- Forgetting to tell florist it's a gift (presentation matters)
💡 Pro trick: Mother's Day is one of the busiest days for florists. Order midweek before for best choice and availability. Same-day Mother's Day orders get whatever's left.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
👵 Elderly mum? I can stay a bit longer if she wants a chat. No rush. Part of the service is making her day nicer, not just ticking a delivery box.
Including a card? The florist will include whatever message you give them. I'll make sure it's with the flowers when I deliver.
Photos for you? I can send you a quick photo once the flowers are displayed so you can see how they look. Especially good if you're miles away.
Multiple deliveries? Got mum, mother-in-law and grandma all needing flowers? I can do a route - works out more efficient than separate visits.
This service runs year-round - birthdays, anniversaries, apologies, get well soon. Mother's Day is just when it's busiest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Mother's Day flower delivery work?
You tell me which florist to collect from (or I can recommend one in Exeter), what you want to spend on the flowers themselves, and when/where to deliver them. I collect the bouquet, bring it to your mum's place, arrange them in a vase, and make sure they're displayed nicely. Personal service, not a courier dropping a box.
Can you deliver anywhere in the Exeter area?
Yes - Exeter and the usual 30-mile radius I cover. If your mum lives locally but you're working away or living elsewhere, this service bridges the gap nicely.
Do you provide the vase or does mum need one?
I can bring a simple glass vase with me (adds about £8-10), or if your mum has a favourite vase I'll arrange the flowers in that. Just let me know what works best.
What if mum isn't home when you arrive?
We'll coordinate timing - I'll confirm with her (or you can let her know) when to expect me. If there's a key safe or trusted neighbour, that works too. I'm not leaving flowers on the doorstep to wilt.
Is this just for Mother's Day or any occasion?
Started as a Mother's Day thing, but works for birthdays, get well soon, apologies, or just because. Any occasion where you want flowers delivered properly, not chucked by a courier.
